This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 80 gsm Mohawk Superfine archival paper stitched with Irish linen thread in the linked pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts. This stitch allows the book to lay open easily at any page.

 This book’s endbands are blue and white cotton, and its bookmark is goatskin.  Its spine is covered in French goatskin, and its boards are wrapped in paper that was double hand-marbled by Regina and Daniel St. John at Chena River Paper in Amherst, Massachusetts.

 Treasure binding began with monks in the 6th Century who would encrust volumes with jewels. During the Renaissance, there was a resurgence in treasure binding. This is a contemporary revival of the treasure binding in which a lucky charm has been embedded in the cover of this book.  

 The talisman in this journal is a ?/ key from a late 19th Century typewriter.  When that typewriter was in use, no one imagined the vital role of the “/” key in the Internet.  The future will make of us and our inventions what it will.

This book is approximately 6 x 9” with a few more than 150 blank pages.
